The Canadian's Lead..
...The North American charge in the fight against global climate change. Of course Canada is hosting the UN's climate change conference(Caution: .pdf file)(no caps because this is an amalgam of the Parties to Kyoto Protocol and the Conference of the Parties to the Climate Change Convention)
Of course, the US, a non-signatory to Kyoto, stayed our incredibly self-destructive course with chief US climate negotiator, Harlan Watson telling Reuters, that "A (system of) targets and timetables approach will not work for us."
There's more about yesterdays happenings at the Reuters AlertNet link.
It's not impossible to envision that we're already past the 'tipping point,' where a system can sustain considerable strain to its equilibrium, and suddenly collapse into a new state.
The mathematics underlying the collapse of steady-state systems are pretty heady, but their effects are immediate and can be quite pronounced.
(jebus, I just realized how geeky the above reads)
The easiest things that you can do as a concerned citizen of the planet is to reduce your overall ecological footprint, and vote out of office the people that are enabling the wanton destruction of our environment.
Then comes the real heavy lifting.
